Support Our Local Service Members Affected by the Government Shutdown
Many of our local service members and their families are facing unexpected challenges that have placed added strain on their daily lives. In this time of need, we stand together to offer support, compassion, and community to those who serve us every day.
At Accelerate Brevard: Chamber of Innovation, our Military Affairs Council (MAC) is stepping up with a Digital Donation Campaign to provide direct, immediate relief — and we need your help.
How You Can Help
We’re collecting donations through our secure Website to purchase $25 Visa, Commissary, and Publix gift cards.
These cards will help military families cover essentials such as groceries, gas, household items, or urgent bills — giving them the flexibility to meet their most immediate needs.
How to Donate
- Register just like you would for an event — start by selecting “Register” at $0.
This allows us to keep you informed and recognize your support. - Once registered, select your donation amount in $25 increments by increasing the quantity (e.g., 2 = $50, 4 = $100, etc.).
- Complete your registration to finalize your donation.
It’s quick, secure, and makes a real difference.
Where Your Donation Goes
All contributions will be used to purchase gift cards that will be distributed directly through base leadership at:
- Patrick Space Force Base
- Cape Canaveral Coast Guard Station
- Naval Ordnance Test Unit (NOTU)
These trusted partners will ensure the cards reach service members and families most in need — keeping the process efficient, transparent, and impactful.
Why It Matters
Every $25 donation represents a gesture of gratitude, compassion, and community strength. Together, we can remind those who serve our nation that
Brevard stands with them during this challenging time.
